Episode 25 - Ayurvedic Psychology + Meditation + Chronic Pain

Author: Angela Spignese May 25, 2021 Duration: 46:30

In today's episode we interview the Director of the Boston Ayurveda School, Kim Valeri Povey. She is a yoga therapist, Ayurvedic practitioner and activist for holistic health. She discussed with us how your specific mind quality can show if you have a tendency towards clarity (sense of calm), over activity (anxiety) or heaviness (depression). She describes her work practicing a healing therapy called Sattva Vajaya and how she first learned to start a dialogue within her own body after a near death experience.

Angela Spignese hosts Salsa Sol Food, a space where health conversations feel more like a chat with a good friend than a clinical lecture. Born from her own long journey navigating puzzling chronic symptoms, this podcast explores the interconnected layers of well-being-what she calls the Salsa Sol Food approach. Here, healing isn't about a single miracle cure but the vibrant mix of moving your body, practicing genuine self-care, and choosing foods with intention. Each episode blends Angela's personal stories with practical insights, all delivered with a refreshing dose of humor and lightness. You'll find that laughter is considered just as essential as any supplement. Whether discussing alternative fitness ideas, mindful eating beyond trends, or the mental shifts needed for sustainable health, the tone remains grounded and relatable. This isn't about perfection; it's about finding your own rhythm in the chaos. Tune in for a podcast that reminds you that caring for your body and mind can be both a serious commitment and a genuinely joyful exploration.
